I Become Baby Mafia Boss

Chapter 601: “Rental Fee”

Luring the spirits without trapping them?

Zev tilted his head in confusion.

[How do we do that?] The toddler with his diaper showing everywhere clicked his tongue.

[The reason why the spirits come to this place is because of the abundant spiritual energy, but they don’t want to live in this place forever, okay?]

So how is it possible that they could keep the spirits without using the spirit barrier to trap them unless they made a contract with the shamans visiting the place?

If not for the barrier, would the spirits make a contract with a newbie shaman? No!

Most spirits wanted to be free ones, living an eternal life as long as their soul was still intact and they had lingering feelings in this world.

Of course, a sufficient spiritual energy intake was also needed.

But in general, the dead spirits didn’t want to make a contract with a human where they had to work hard to possess the human and use their abilities…

Maybe they did want to experience being alive once in a while, but to accompany a shaman became their fighting tool…

Which big shots wanted to do that?

Don’t forget that not all living beings who lost their life could become a spirit.

The majority were great people when they’re alive, and when they died, their souls didn’t go to the underworld to undergo a reincarnation or something like that due to their lingering feelings for this world.

Some of these people had their souls destroyed by their enemies, so they couldn’t reincarnate and also couldn’t become a dead spirit.

But other ability users had their family members create a memorial where they could put their souls in a safe place.

It was like a safety box or something?

Thus, these spirits, mostly geniuses and great people when they’re alive, could still live as dead spirits and continue to protect their family members or just to roam the world.

Most spirits tied to their family usually wouldn’t enter the mausoleum due to the trapping barrier…

But there were many lone experts like the Godfather who also had their ways persevering their souls while they became dead spirits.

How could these free-spirited spirits stay at the mausoleum if the barrier was gone? Impossible!

Even if they were lured in thanks to the abundant spiritual energy, without the barrier, they could come and go as they pleased.

Then, how could the Sloan Family benefited from the mausoleum?

Zev shook his head and sighed.

[Why do you need to break the barrier and release all the spirits inside just to avoid other families from coveting this place? What you’re doing is just mutual destruction!]

But Ainsley only smiled at Zev’s words. She whistled calmly and slowly opened her mouth.

[What if we do the opposite? Let’s make an anti-spirit barrier that we can control so that only spirits that we allow to bypass the barrier can enter the mausoleum.]

…??

Zev almost choked and died.

[WHAT?? Are you crazy? Out of your mind? If it’s like that, how will we get many spirits to enter– ]

[Hush, wait. Listen.] Ainsley waved her hand and forcefully made Zev stop speaking. The baby then looked at Zev with a calm gaze.

[You know that when the Godfather spirit is here, the mausoleum is resonating with him, and the mausoleum will produce more quality spiritual energy for the spirits, yes?]

[Uh…yeah, I know.]

But he didn’t think that Ainsley would know about this.

Of course, if Ainsley didn’t eavesdrop on the spirits gossiping about the Godfather, she would also never know about this unique fact.

When Zev nodded in agreement, Ainsley smiled smugly in reply.

[So, as long as the Godfather visits the mausoleum often, the spirits will be tempted enough to enter the mausoleum to absorb the energy, no?]

[Uh…you can say that…]

But what’s with the anti-spirit barrier?

Zev grumbled in his heart.

Is Ain going to make the spirits pay for the extra spiritual energy, or what–

Zev suddenly paused. His beady eyes slowly widened as he looked at Ainsley with his jaws dropping to the ground.

[Y-you! Y-you– don’t tell me you– ]

Ainsley nodded with a grin on her face.

[Yes. I’m going to make it so that the spirits will only crowd the mausoleum when the Godfather visits.]

In other words, it’s only when Ainsley bring her people to bathe in the spirits’ energy so that they could become a shaman.

Or when she made a deal with other forces such as the shaman guild to enter the mausoleum.

[Do you understand now?] Ainsley giggled, and her smile slowly resembled a cunning little fox.

[In a normal situation, the mausoleum will be completely devoid of spirits. No spirit can enter the mausoleum.]

That means the mausoleum would be completely useless unless Ainsley personally opened the anti-spirit barrier!

And Ainsley didn’t intend to make the spirits mooch off the spiritual energy for free. Instead of trapping them from leaving, she was actually going to blacklist them from entering.

[There’s not a lot of places like this mausoleum with such a lot of spiritual energy and also completely safe for the spirits.]

Ainsley looked around the spirits around her and clicked her tongue.

[They only need to absorb the energy while chatting and leisurely to live here, nice, isn’t it?]

And that’s why they have to pay the rent, ah.

Other shamans can’t possibly chat with all the spirits, but as an ambassador type, she could.

And this is how she would make them pay for mooching off the energy here.

[Those that want to absorb the spiritual energy in this place will have to assist my people in becoming a shaman or become their contracted spirit!]
